It is a hard topic and I still trying my best to play it..... I have a book call "Top-Tone for saxophone" (I leave the book at band room so I don't know if the name is not correct.) It is a very nice book that talk about overtone in details.

For some basic ideas you can check below link.

At the beginning, I have just kept trying low Bb tone and then going upward. It took about one month to reach the upper 5th register. I think 5th register may be the critical one.

In your experience, which one is the most difficult one to reach at the beginning?

我岩岩先開始練, 由 Low Bb 開始, 第一個吹到既 Overtone 就係高左一個 Octave 既 F, 練左兩個星期, 依家有時可以吹到高一個 Octave 既 Bb, 但好唔穩定, 反而高一個 Octave 果個 F 就次次都吹到, 努力中!

make sure when you play them you are actually opening your throat instead of positioning your mouthpiece in a different angle. Basically the ideal of achieving that would be simply using your throat and your tongue (a technique called voicing, if you bump into Pluto Chu ask him to show you). Reason I am saying this is that you can go anything above the palm key D if you tighten the pressure around the mouthpiece thus the reed, so in a way you are squeaking instead of playing the real overtones. And again, there's a combination of factors that prevents you from reaching those notes and leaking being a major one of them.

yes, Pluto is great at the low Bb thing....he's control is so good....and the altissimos are so smooth...

anyway....besides all the techniques and methods to practice....some mpc is more capable to do so than others...
